Paula Kasper had dropped out of the Psychology program at the University of Texas in her junior year to open a hair salon south of Downtown Austin. An hour of hairdressing and scalp massages usually obliterated her clients’ inhibitions, and they unburdened themselves of their most intimate dilemmas.

David Piper grew up on endless high plains vistas overlaid with right-angle gravel roads. An enormous monopoly hired him to fix residential telephones, where he encountered the full expression of human eccentricities.

When he landed in Texas he found more time to oil paint and emerge as a writer in Austin, where he now lives.
